Science 101 – Science is a whore!

This is the first part of a multipart series on the woes of modern science.

Back in the mid seventies was when I started to notice that science was up for grabs to the highest bidder. Big Tobacco was the upstanding corporate
citizen who was buying scientists to come up with some whorish ‘proof’ that smoking was, if not ‘good for ya’ would certainly not harm anyone.

The studies came thick and fast and the good guys were on the back foot. The good guys took almost a decade to eventually catch up and then overtake
Big Tobacco’s strangle hold. Then Big Tobacco went into politics and is still going strong on that front.

Now it seems that no area of science is safe from whoredom. Global warming …. Oops, sorry guys, Global cooling, Oops, sorry guys, Climate change!
Yea, climate change is for sale. So many scientists participating in whorish behavior all for the almighty proverbial thirty pieces of silver.

Big Pharma pays huge money for scientists to come up with some very questionable but amazingly profitable drugs to foist onto the public.

Oh, there are so many examples. When you include multinational corporations efforts in Politics you even get to the stage where honest scientists are
being either muzzled by Governments, Canada springs to mind, or ridiculed for decent work. Even the peer review process is simply a group of whores
commenting on one of their own.

I have lost all faith in science and that for me is epically sad. We have never really been able to trust our Governments. Big business has always
looked at profits only and the last bastion, Science, has fallen.

The problem isn't even the Scientists. Positions in academia, and more importantly funding aren't exactly growing on trees. A brain has to eat.

No. The problem isn't with Science, or Scientists.
Blaming Science or Scientists is like all the gun control enthusiasts blaming AR-15s for crimes perpetuated by the people that used them.

No. Science and Scientists are not the problem.

Be angry and upset if one desires, but, recognize the distinction where those employing Science and Scientists, those with vested interests are to
blame for using/warping certain tools toward their own benefit.

When did big pharma do anything but sell the medicines that scientists created?

You can't say the retailers are anything but after money.

But those who had the best interest of their fellow man in mind when they tested and tested and tested, they're not the ones involved with anything
to do with people manufacturing, en masse, the poisons masquerading as medicines today.

And you have to think... you can't go to a medicine man any more. You can't go to a shaman. You have to rely on mass produced quick acting rubbish
because there is just so many of us.

Complain about the way it's been set up to work with such a large number of animals, and then complain when someone says "thin the herd!'...

Thank you for the reply. No matter what field we work in we should have a defined work ethic. Science as a collective has lost its ethics. It is
individuals who lose their ethical rudder and it is those individuals who as a collective, become the scientific community. I do blame scientists,
they have lost their way.

We must all strive to be the best that we come rather than blaming human nature. We need desperately to have mankind start the Age of Reason and get
out of the gutter.

Science is fine, it's the scientists that have lost all sense of social responsibility and do whatever they're told just to keep a roof over their
heads. The have become the technological enforcers for government and corporate interests providing their means of economic and military power .

This change has been slowly developed over the last few decades as the DOD came to be the primary source of finance for grants in colleges and
university science departments. They were bought out. Science for science sake has become a rare quality and has been purged from the ivory towers.
Science has become politicized, militarized and the environmental movement hijacked to serve global warming carbon bankers. The social sciences give
fodder to marketing and political strategists. Psychology serves to preserve the status quo and retain worker productivity.

Perhaps we expect too much from scientists by holding them on a pedestal. You can count me among those who would not hesitate to name several
scientists if I had to pick the top 10 people of all time. Our civilizations are built (and destroyed) by science. It controls our economies and has
now been abused to destroy privacy and manipulate the stock market.

So long as power-mad people write the paychecks for scientists things will go on as they have. What we need is someone with scruples that has the
means to replace that financing

Well if you want to get technical....The point is that I know there have been different suppresed cures in the world. I can give sources if it is
necessary. It does not matter the origins of the symbol . It matters what it means now. They do not want to cure disease, and people are complaining
left and right about Obamacare. WE wouldn't need Obamacare if the FDA would allow diseases to be cured!!!! WAKE UP.

So many people could be off of assistance programs if they could be cured of MS, Diabetes, Arthritis, Heart Problems, Cancer, AIDS, need I say more?

They want to keep giving people things that have deadly side-effects. Just look up VIOXX if you want to know more about that. Deny Ignorance.

Vioxx was taken off of the market because of heart probems that it caused. The point is this: Look at the list of side effects on any medication that
you may need to take. For others, how about the potential side effects which may cause death. It is a very common thing. It is all about making
as much $ as they can killing people over a length of time these days. I hope that changes, but we live in a capatalistic system worldwide now. I do
not think TPTB want to change that anytime soon.
